TIME

The Rolling Stones used to sing about time being on their side. Take a look at them now. I hope they don't still include that song in their tours. The truth is that time is always on the move. I just celebrated a birthday that put me on the other side of the half way mark of the fifties. It's funny—I don't feel that much older "in my mind." (My body is another story) But I remember a quarter century ago saying, " I'll get more serious with my search for God's truth tomorrow." And "I am not going to waste another day." And a whole bunch of good intentions like that. The truth is, I have made an effort to search out God's truth but I could have done more. And I have not wasted as many days, but I have wasted plenty. Sometimes I pray, "Lord, pull me away from myself and draw me toward you." Peter called us "sojourners" which means those who are just passing through. We, in truth, have "another" home. I'm not against relaxing, enjoying downtime and just plain having fun. But when I get serious for a minute...I realize that time is a limited comodity. When the sand runs out of the hourglass...it's over. So, maybe today would be a good day to do at least one of the good things I have on my list. Maybe today is the day to experience God by helping someone else. "Give and you shall receive..." That's a "TIMELESS" principle.
